Not all thyroid supplements are equally effective – in fact, some can actually make your hypothyroid symptoms worse.

I cover this important (and controversial) topic in my ebook: The Best (and Worst) Supplements for Your Thyroid.

If you have hypothyroidism, there is a greater than 90% chance that Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease, is the cause of your hypothyroidism. ⁠
⁠
If you have one autoimmune disease, then you may have other autoimmune diseases. ⁠
⁠
Researchers once believed that autoimmunity was an isolated dysfunction of the gland from an autoimmune response that had no other systemic effects.⁠
⁠
Current research shows autoimmunity stems from immune dysregulation and loss of immune tolerance – meaning the immune system loses tolerance to foods, chemicals, and its own body tissue. ⁠
⁠
This means that any tissue in the body is vulnerable to autoimmunity, and that the mechanisms that set into motion one autoimmune disease can lead to another.⁠
⁠
The goal is to regulate immune function and drive autoimmune expression into remission, which will lower your risk of developing future autoimmune diseases. ⁠
⁠
You do this by identifying your triggers and following strategies that dampen inflammation and boost immune "regulation."

This is just some of the work I do with clients. Do you have Hashimoto's or other autoimmune condition? Let me know in the comments.

You cannot supplement or medicate your way out of fatigue, weight gain, thyroid imbalance, insulin resistance, hormone imbalance, or any other label given to symptoms of dis-ease in the body. Period.

You can spend thousands of dollars on functional lab tests that simply confirm your symptoms rather than point to the root cause.

Are supplements beneficial to use while removing the root cause? Absolutely. But if you're not addressing the root cause, and only addressing symptoms: thyroid imbalance, hormone imbalance, fatigue, etc. etc. etc., then it is an exercise in futility.

I'm looking for 12 people who are READY to be FREE of the fatigue (which really is an alarm, not a symptom), the inability to lose weight, hormone imbalance, pain, insomnia, digestive issues, or whatever your individual health concern, to participate in my 12 week Cellular Detox and Metabolic Reset group program, designed to address the root cause of ALL dis-ease, and set you up for healing!

To participate, you need to be willing to put in the work, be consistent and dedicated, and committed to your health and wellness.

If you're ready to take control of your health and transform it, complete a short application to see if you qualify, link in comments or at link in graphic.

Did you know that insects are now being added to pastry, flour, baking products, pasta, drinks, and more??

Permission has already been issued for manufacturers to add insects to all food products. Make sure you're reading the ingredient list; better yet, just eat real food.

When looking at product composition:
☑️Yellow flour worms - Tenebrio molitor (commonly called flour, yellow flour, woolen beetles, dark beetles
☑️Cockroaches - Blattodea.
☑️Domestic grasshopper - acheta domesticus
☑️Migratory Locusta - migratory locusta
☑️Buffalo Worm - Alphitobius Diaperinus

Chitin is a hard outer cover for insects and in humans it can destroy internal organs, induce cytokine production, leukocyte recruitment, and alternative macrophage activation. In other words, turn on a a heightened immune response, and destroy the gut.

Possible diseases associated with chitin include:
✅Immune system issues
✅Atopical skin irritations
✅Possible cancer
✅Allergens to shells like shellfish
✅Inflammatory issues
✅Microbiome/digestive issues

Insects are a reservoir of parasitic and pathogenic flora that cripples human organs and it is extremely difficult to get these parasites out of your body.

When looking at product composition, look for:
☑️E-120-karmin (red dye) is a mixture of cachinel worms
☑️E-904-WIND is a product of worm waste

If you're buying a lot of boxed/packaged products, please read the ingredient list.

If you already have gut issues, hormone issues, thyroid issues, or other chronic health conditions, now is the time to find some resolution because going forward, a healthy body is going to be crucial.

I'm still accepting applications for the beta deep dive detox group program. Link in comments.

The problem isn’t that your hormones are imbalanced, that your thyroid is slow, that your digestion and gut are dysfunctional, that you have insomnia, joint pain and stiffness.

These are merely symptoms of deeper issues.

Are you ready?? What's stopping you??

I wish I had this program and protocol when I first started my healing journey!

There are only two causes of dis-ease:
Toxicity and Nutritional Deficiencies.

Just two.

Both of which I address and correct in the Cellular Detox & Metabolic Reset Group program.

“Cleanses” and “detoxes” really only eliminate circulating toxins. They do nothing for purging all of the stored toxins that are impacting your hormones, your sleep, your ability to lose weight, your moods, or any other the other hundreds of “symptoms” you may be experiencing.

I’m so super stoked for this group!! It going to be such a game changer for so many!!

Are you one of them!! Application link in comments!! Informational meeting Monday 2/27/23 at 7pm EST. Replay will be available for those who can’t attend live. You must apply to receive the link for the meeting.

This is the first time I’m offering this program in a group setting, so this initial “beta” group is deeply discounted. Come join me!! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!

Your thyroid is not the problem. ⁠
⁠
What's happening inside your cells is the problem. ⁠
⁠
That is where dis-ease begins and ends. ⁠
⁠
Let's fix the cell. ⁠

If only there were quick fixes!! You must realize, you didn't get here overnight, and you're not going to "fix" yourself overnight. ⁠
⁠
And, it's about SO much more than food, or exercise. SO much more. ⁠
⁠
Our bodies are complex and there are so many things at play and you can't segregate them out; they're all related. ⁠
⁠
Are you ready to get off the hamster wheel and identify the root issue and then work to resolve THAT?! ⁠
When you complete my Cellular Detox and Metabolic Reset 4-Month Group Coaching Program, you’ll lose the weight, correct those hormonal imbalances, erase the brain fog, gain energy, and have the skills and strategies to maintain your wins!! Application link in comments.
⁠
What is your biggest struggle? Let me know in the comments. ⁠
